Yes, Liu Shimei believed that Liu Quans death was not natural, but how could a person with such outstanding talent and intelligence be completely devoid of any sense of danger?

There was only one possibility

There was a mole by his side, someone he trusted had betrayed him!

Normally, the noble residences stables were always well-stocked with fodder. Liu Quan wouldnt need to take the horses outside the city to graze, especially if the legitimate son of the noble house was present at the stable. So why did he go outside to feed the horses?

Taking a step back, even if the stable hadnt been properly attended to, there was no reason for Liu Quan to wait outside and let the horses graze, risking them eating poisonous plants.

It was too coincidental, too many coincidences to be just chance!

And coincidentally, when the horses went mad, Wu Qiang was not with Liu Quan. Isnt that suspicious?

Highly suspicious!

Mu Jiangli was accommodated in the guest courtyard, residing in a courtyard separated by another from Huangfu Lingyaos residence.

When Liu Shimei came over, he also glanced at the courtyard where Huangfu Lingyao lived, thinking, After I finish talking to Mu Jiangli later, I need to go check on my silly dog.

He had suffered such a serious injury today for her. Although he was very brave, he had still been frightened.

She should have stayed with him all this time, but because there were too many troublesome matters, she had to deal with them first before coming to find him.

When Liu Shimei entered, Mu Jiangli was not in the room but was sitting in the courtyard, sipping tea.

However, the tea remained untouched. He was tilting his head, gazing at the sky, lost in thought.

After moving in, he had removed his mask, revealing a handsome face with sharp edges and corners.eastern fantasy

It seemed a bit melancholic, didnt it? A bit sentimental?

Lord Mu. She approached and greeted him.

Mu Jiangli snapped out of his thoughts upon seeing her. He stood up and said, Eldest Young Miss Liu

For some reason, Liu Shimei felt like his voice was trembling.

Perhaps she had misunderstood? In their previous encounters, Mu Jiangli always appeared calm and composed. Why would he greet her with a trembling voice?

She smiled faintly and said, Im sorry. You saved my life, yet I left you here. I feel terribly sorry.

Mu Jiangli collected himself and said gently, No need to mention saving lives.

I just happened to pass by. No need to be so apologetic.

Liu Shimei smiled back.

Mu Jiangli gestured, saying, Although I am a guest, please have a seat.

They both sat down.

Liu Shimei asked, Have you had your dinner?

I have. Mu Jiangli paused and added, Madam is kind and considerate.

Liu Shimei stared into his eyes and noticed he seemed lonelier than the previous times they had met.

Yes, lonely!

Like a wanderer returning home, feeling awkward in familiar surroundings?

Liu Shimei thought she must be going crazy to have such thoughts!

His eyes revealed obvious melancholy. Afraid of prying into his privacy and making him uncomfortable, she couldnt dig deeper. Instead, she smiled and said, Aunt is indeed nice. She is strong when she needs to be and gentle without any harshness when she should be.

Mu Jiangli looked up at her and said, I can tell they treat you very well.

Liu Shimeis smile deepened. Indeed. I only started interacting with my maternal family this year and discovered they are such lovely people!

Seeing the complex emotions in his eyes, she didnt intend to pry into others affairs but found herself unable to stop herself from blurting out, Has Mr.. Mu had any previous connections with my maternal family?
